These spicy pickled green beans are my new obsession. Crunchy refrigerated pickled green beans that are both spicy and sweet and best of all, a tasty low carb snack.

I hadn’t planned on writing this post but I cannot stopping eating these spicy pickled green beans that my husband made! They are so good and so easy to make and best of all for me they are low carb.

My husband has been canning and pickling all summer but this is my favorite. He used his pickled jalapeño recipe and added lots of green beans. The combination is spicy and tangy and a bit sweet which goes great with the fresh, crunchy green beans. Green beans are not even one of my favorite vegetables but I love these!

Ok I do like green beans when they are in a green bean casserole or tasty Asian green bean almondine side dish. But there is something about this pickle that I can’t get enough of.

I keep a plate of them by my computer when I’m working and just crunch on one when I get hungry. I like that it’s low carb but it’s also very healthy too. Now I will show you how easy it is.

Let’s Make Some Pickled Green Beans!

My hubby has a whole technique but I’m going to just give you the nitty gritty details. You clean and trim your green beans and chop the peppers. He used pint size jars like this.

He turns the jar on the side to stuff the green beans in so they are standing straight and then adds the peppers on top.

Then get a pot and pour in all the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and ladel into the jars.

Let them cool off before adding a lid and placing into the refrigerator.

They are not canned pickled green beans, they are refrigerator pickles. As in they have to be refrigerated but they will keep for quite a long time. My hubby said you wouldn’t want to can them because the green beans and peppers would get soggy.

Well I hope you like this recipe as much as I do. I mostly posted this for my own use; so I can have the recipe at my fingertips to make these year round.

The nutritional information is approximate because it will be dependent on how many green beans you use and how many jars (I used 5 jars). But the nutrition for about ¼ of a pint jar which is roughly 10 green beans is: 

17 cals / 0.1g fat / 2.7g carbs / 0.8g fiber / 0.5g protein = 1.9g net carbs

These spicy pickled green beans are my new obsession. Crunchy refrigerated pickled green beans that are both spicy and sweet and best of all, a nice low carb snack.

    These are so good! I replaced with regular sugar because the taste of Splenda isn’t my favorite. Also used Serrano peppers because my grocery was out of jalapeños. They have a little bit more kick than jalapeños but similar flavor. Will be making these all summer with my green bean plants.

      Hi Rachel,
      So glad you liked them. I understand about the splenda. That is just for me as I am mostly low carb but my hubby usually uses regular sugar.
      He pickles just about everything from his garden. And he uses this pickling recipe for cauliflower with hot peppers, sauerkraut filled peppers, etc.

    Hi, is the recipe calling for regular table salt or pickling salt? Thanks!

      Hi Michelle, it’s just regular salt. Hope you like them!

    Can you hot water bath them. Just for a longer storage time.

    My mouth is watering just looking at them. I could absolutely feast off of them. So much better than pickles. I’m saving this recipe to buy extra green beans at the Farmers Market.

    We always have french beans on hand, I suppose they will work in this recipe too? Love the spicy kick in this!

    This is the ONLY way I make pickles. Quick and easy. My mom was the master canner. Her basement was ALWAYS full of preserves. This is my style…and I don’t have a cold room to make huge batches. This works perfectly.

      Can I store these in the garage or do they have to be refrigerated?

        Hi Kari, I would refrigerate them because they are not truly “canned”. They should last for a quite a few weeks in the refrigerator.

    Did you use bottled or tap water?

      Hi Laura, we just use filtered water from our refrigerator. I don’t think it would matter much in my opinion but use whatever you feel comfortable with.

    Do the newly pickled beans need to go in the fridge or can they be stored in a cool basement for a later use?

      Hi Emily, you would need to refrigerate them since they are not vacuum sealed. They should last for quite a while in the refrigerator though. I hope you enjoy them!

    Do you have to use Splenda. Not a believer in artificial sweetners.

      Hi Brenda, no you certainly don’t. As a matter of fact my husband usually uses white sugar but I’m on a low carb diet so I used Splenda. You can use any type of sugar you want.
